As far as the East is from the West, so far hath he removed our Transgressions from us. Like as a Father pitieth his Children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our Frame, he remembreth that we are Duft. As for Man, his Days are as Grass: As a Flower of the *Field, fo he flourisheth. For the Wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the Place thereof shall know it no more.

The Lord hath prepared his Throne in the Heavens: And his Kingdom ruleth ever all. Pfalm C111. 1, to 22. Blefs |
